Lionel Messi's much-anticipated GOAT tour of India descended into chaos on Saturday when furious fans vandalised Kolkata's Salt Lake Stadium following the football star's brief appearance. Disappointed supporters, who had paid up to £100 ($134) for tickets, stormed the pitch, ripped up seats, and demanded full refunds after barely catching a glimpse of the Argentine legend.
The incident has raised questions about event management in the country's burgeoning sports tourism scene. It was hardly the smooth kick-off the organisers had in mind for the three-day visit.
